No, I think you're reading your own interpretation into my
words there.  Seeing as I *host* a radio show that is an
alternative to the corporate hegemony, I obviously understand
that we need not bend and submit to the corporate will.

What I meant by our being cursed is that our alternatives to
corporate radio are few; thus, corporate radio itself in this
market takes even fewer creative chances than it takes in
other markets.
